Mr. Steele attended Monday’s Pickering council meeting where the capital ($18.7 million) and operating ($66.4 million) budgets were passed. Property taxes will increase by 5.9 per cent in 2008, meaning an additional $59.29 on a $280,000 home. Mr. Steele, also critical of the oper- ating budget, said the capital budget process was not sustainable, noting the cost of deferred capital projects from the 2008 budget carried into 2009 is $28.4 million. He noted debt financing in 2008 is $8.2 million, and is projected at $6.6 million next year. “What I do not understand is how you have allowed the City of Pickering to reach a point that road improve- ments and storm sewer improvements are deferred and carried over into fu- ture years,” he said, adding the City should provide an eight-year capital budget plan, otherwise, new capital projects will be a problem. Mayor Dave Ryan said no municipal- ity’s perfect, but ensured every dollar spent in the budget is an investment in Pickering. He added comments made at the meeting “particularly by the gen- eral public, we take seriously.” Ward 1 City Councillor Jennifer O’Connell - the only member to vote against the budget - said although the property tax increase is lower than last year (it was 8.79 per cent), debt has increased greatly. She said while some projects are necessary, others are not. Rural roads are getting attention, for example, while some sidewalks and trails don’t connect. “This is not a green budget,” she said. “This is not sustainable, environ- mentally or financially, in my opin- ion.” Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean saw things differently, saying “I’m going to support this budget... be- cause I think it’s a damn good budget.” He said major projects, such as ex- panding the recreation complex ($4.5 KEEPING PICKERING CLEAN AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo PICKERING — Westcreek Public School took part in the 20 Minute Makeover in Pickering.

The groups range from sports associations to a church and have been promised up to $185,000 to improve the programs they offer the community. Groups from Ajax to Clar- ington have been granted the cash. The grants will help build a stronger On- tario by fuelling local economies and im- proving quality of life, said Culture Minister Aileen Carroll in a news release. In all, 40 grants were given throughout Durham, Haliburton, Kawartha and Pine Ridge. The money goes to programs that improve accessibility, increase energy effi- ciency and can be used for innovative tech- nology. The Ontario Trillium Foundation is an agency of the Ontario government. The foundation funds charities and not-for-prof- its that work in communities and province- wide. Money is granted in four sectors: arts and culture, environment, sports and recreation, and human and social services. Community groups benefit from provincial grants Who got what Big Brothers and Sisters of Ajax/Pickering -- $56,800 over three years to expand a mentoring program and start a group recreational program Club Loreley (Oshawa) -- $16,600 to improve accessibility to the German culture and language facility Durham Youth Orchestra -- $14,500 to buy a portable stage and a computer The Parkwood Foundation -- $130,800 for accessibility improvements to Parkwood, a historical site Pickering Baseball Association -- $54,300 for fencing, bleachers and equipment Port Perry United Church (care of Port Perry Prince Albert Pastoral Charge) -- $150,000 to improve accessibility at the church Renascent Foundation (Brooklin) -- $75,000 to renovate a kitchen in the residential treatment facility which serves people overcoming addictions AJAX — Gary Lew, vice-principal of Eagle Ridge Public School, throws an egg wrapped in a pro- tective device from the roof of the school to see if the egg will remain whole or crack once it hits the ground.

Opinions differ on how Durham should tackle obesity issue By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — If an Ajax councillor has her way, a resolution to support a ban on advertising food and beverages to children under the age of 13 will be back on the table at Re- gional council. Councillor Colleen Jor- dan said she was surprised the endorsement didn’t fly at council when council met last Wednesday. “I was surprised because I thought it warranted some discussion and de- bate and to not even afford the opportunity for discus- sion shows a lack of inter- est in children’s welfare,” said Coun. Jordan. But, health and services chairwoman April Cullen said that’s not the case. “I think that the best thing we could do for our kids is turn the TV off. That would be a lot more useful for preventing childhood obe- sity than banning ads,” she said, pointing out she’d rather see kids outside play- ing street hockey or riding their bikes than watch- ing television. The issue first came to the health and social services earlier this month. The Region’s medical officer of health, Robert Kyle, presented a memo describing Toronto Public Health’s request for sup- port in calling for a ban on all food and beverage advertising directed at children under the age of 13. The committee voted to receive the memo for in- formation and did not en- dorse the call for the ban. When the issue came up at Regional council, Coun. Jordan tried to get council to re-open the issue and support Toronto’s request. But, she did not get the necessary two-thirds ma- jority to change the com- mittee’s motion into an endorsement and the issue wasn’t debated. Coun. Cullen said she’s not sure why other coun- cillors voted not to open the issue for debate. From what she under- stands, some are philosophically opposed to regu- lating business that way and others see it as too Big Brother-like. Still, Coun. Jordan said she feels strongly about the issue and plans to re- introduce it at the next Re- gional council meeting on May 7. “I think it’s a very impor- tant issue, especially when you look at the statistics of obesity and overweight among young people and when you look at the bil- lions of dollars directed at advertising junk food to children,” she said. Coun. Cullen expects that Coun. Jordan will again need a two-thirds majority to open the issue and suspects the motion will again fail. “If you lose it, you lose it and, yes, I understand she feels it’s an important issue, and I’m not saying childhood obesity is not an important issue, the differ- ence is how we deal with it.” LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION FOR NEWCOMERS TO CANADA CALL ROSE 1-866-550-5462 CHILDCARE AVAILABLE www.durhamLINC.caTHEDURHAMCATHOLICDISTRICTSCHOOLBOARDCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL DURHAM WE’VE GOT YOUR SIZE Sizes 4-15 Widths AA-EEE PICKERING TOWN CENTRE • UPPER LEVEL • SEARS WING !.4)342%33 ¤ WALKING IN FASHION & STYLE • Do you have a desire to work with the elderly or disabled? • Are you interested in supporting people to live independent lives? • Have you considered a job in community health or a nursing/retirement home?

Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson said it’d be great to support a zero-per cent tax increase, but at that time the City had $20 million in reserves when it did. He sup- ported the budget, but welcomes conflicting views like Coun. O’Connell’s. “To run this corporation, you don’t want seven people up here all thinking the same,” he said. But, he added debt is something you can never get away from. Resident Janice Frampton said more public input was needed prior to Monday’s meeting. But, Ward 3 City Councillor David Pickles noted there were four days of meet- ings open to the public. Coun. Pickles suggested putting $50,000 into a contingency fund for the Greenwood Library to be used if Council agrees to re- pair its damaged foundation, which was approved. Ward 1 Regional Councillor Bonnie Littley said “I think we picked some really good projects this year,” but mentioned she’d like to see less debt financing in 2009. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson said no matter how high or low the budget, people disagree.

Justice Michelle Fuerst reserved judgment after hearing closing argu- ments from the defence and Crown Monday in a bail review hearing in Whitby. She’s been asked to release 56-year-old Alan Smith into the super- vision of a number of sureties. Prosecutor John Scott argued that while bail might be appropriate in the case, defence lawyer Tom Balka hasn’t come up with a plan the Crown can endorse. Mr. Smith is charged with second- degree murder in the killing of 22-year- old Beverly Smith, who was found dead of a gunshot wound to the back of the head in her Raglan home. Mr. Smith -- no relation to the deceased woman -- was a neighbour and friend of Ms. Smith and her husband in the small community and made the discovery of her body on the evening of Dec. 9, 1974. The 56-year-old Mr. Smith was arrested March 17 at his daughter’s home in Cobourg. Durham police had re-opened the cold case file several months before, conducting interviews of people questioned by police in the 70s and following up on new leads. The upper-floor courtroom in Whitby was packed for the hearing, with supporters of Mr. Smith sharing the space with a number of people, including Ms. Smith’s sisters and her daughter, who have come out during the bail review to show their opposi- tion to Mr. Smith’s release. Justice Fuerst is to deliver her ruling next Monday afternoon.

The council decision to not endorse a ban on junk food advertising may have some merit in the reluctance of a democratic society to ban anything, but maybe a more positive action could be considered to compensate for the ban that didn’t get endorsed, and that would address the serious Canadian obesity crisis. One idea might be to consider a rec- ommendation (at least in principle) that advertisers include some space set aside to mention a healthful alter- native (such as an apple) to the junk food being advertised, or some other positive health tip to promote a healthy lifestyle, somewhere in the advertise- ments. Frank Dempsey Pickering Trustee defends board To the editor: Re: ‘School travel policy under review’, on-line story. I would like to reiterate that as both a trustee for the Durham District School Board and as a parent of three children still in our public school system that I find it unfortunate and discouraging that we have individuals who insist on making political hay out of a very regrettable circumstance. The call to review the school travel policy is in itself fine; to review board policies to insure that they reflect the changing environment is not some- thing new, it is common practice at our board. The staff of the Durham District School Board consistently review policy and do not need the 15 minutes of fame from politicians pointing out the obvi- ous. The Durham District School Board has, over the past decade, organized and sponsored student trips wherein literally thousands of students have enjoyed this experience without inci- dent. My own daughter joined the trip last year to Vimy and it was both a personal and educational highlight for her. We should be congratulating staff for their efforts not calling their efforts into question. The Durham District School Board is recognized internationally as a leader in school excursions; to call this into question and to exaggerate claims is very unfortunate. Michael Barrett Trustee - Oshawa Durham District School Board Toronto house more affordable than Oshawa model To the editor: Re: ‘Property tax, six-figure compari- sons not what they seem’, editorial, April 6 News Advertiser. What do you mean by “comparing property taxes strictly to house prices is unfair”? Isn’t the value of your house related to property taxes? (mill rate times house value.) I think you’re confusing value for your money with the tax rate. One has nothing to do with the other. The fact is a $380,000 house is much more affordable in Toronto. Using your data, the property tax in Toronto is less than $200 a month. In Oshawa it’s about $478 per month. To match the Toronto rate I would need to have a tent and have an outhouse on my prop- erty. It’s great to have a new General Motors Centre and Legends Centre but I can’t afford to go to them because of the extra $3,400 in taxes I pay. Yes, my house is getting old but I’ll have to renovate rather than tear it down and build a new one because I don’t have a bottomless well of taxes to rely on.

PAGE 6 ◆ NEWS ADVERTISER ◆ April 23, 2008P Do your bit to cut down on smog I t’s an unfortunate reality of living here that, as the weather warms up and we spend more time outside, the smog moves in. Call it the result of climate change, unrestrained growth or a combination of the two, but it all adds up to breath- ing difficulties and unpleasant -- even deadly -- consequences. Every year in Ontario, several thou- sand people die from the cumulative effects of decades of inhaling bad air. Short of death, many others are forced to wheeze and cough their way through smoggy days as they battle asthma and other breathing difficulties. And the problem is getting worse as the summers roll on by. While last week’s first smog day of the year wasn’t the earliest on record -- we had a smog day in February a few years ago when it was unseasonably warm -- it’s a warning of much more to come. To their credit, upper levels of gov- ernment have promised to fight air pollution and the effects of smog with efforts to reduce harmful emissions from vehicles and industries. But we all have a role to play in limit- ing the problems we face due to bad air. There is no more appropriate time than Earth Day/Earth Week to consider your own carbon footprint and how the way you live affects the world around you. Make sure your car is properly ser- viced and burns fuel efficiently. Con- sider, when replacing your old vehicle, buying a more fuel-efficient car or a hybrid. You’ll save gas costs and create fewer emissions. If replacing or buying a new lawn mower, consider an old-fashioned push mower. You’ll create no pollution, get a little exercise and, again, save on the cost of fuel. As the weather warms up, you’ll be using your air conditioner. Don’t run it when you’re not at home and avoid turning it on high or to an extremely low temperature. You’ll use less energy, lower your hydro bill and create fewer emissions. Make sure all your appliances have an energy star rating so they are highly efficient and save on costs and emis- sions. Try to make the effort to use less energy and create fewer emissions. Your lungs will thank you for it. This Week Will you alter your travel or vacation plans this summer if the price of gas continues to rise?

Yes: 50% No: 50% Votes: 68 By Keith Gilligan kgilligan@durhamregion.com DURHAM — In 2018, when an Ontarian goes to turn on a light, the plan is the power could be coming from new nuclear reactors built next to the existing Darlington or Bruce stations. The power could also be coming from refurbished reactors at the Pickering and Darlington stations. Over the next decade, the provincial government is looking to invest billions -- estimates are $40 billion -- on nuclear projects. That’s a far cry from a saying about nuclear power that went ‘power too cheap to meter’. Earlier this month, the government narrowed the field of vendors down to four companies, includ- ing Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, the builder of the Candu reactor. A decision on what will be built and where will be made by the end of the year, says Alan Findlay, a spokesman for Ontario energy minister Gerry Phillips. The government’s position from the start has been “basically, we want the best value for Ontar- ians,” Mr. Findlay says. That’s why Candu isn’t the only technology being considered. The other vendors are: AREVA NP - US Evolutionary Pressurized Reactor; GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy - Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor; and Westinghouse Electric Company -- AP 1000 nuclear power plant. The AECL reactor being considered is the ACR 1000 Advanced Candu. Mr. Findlay says the technology will be selected by the end of the year and the new units would come on-line in 2018. Pat McNeil, the senior vice-president of nuclear generation development for Ontario Power Generation, says it’s possible to meet that deadline. “As long as everything lines up. The chal- lenge is to get everything lined up.” It will take up to two years to prepare the site and he says construction could start as soon as a licence is acquired. Building will take between three-and-a-half-and-five years, then another year to get the reactors operating. The new units could generate anywhere from 1,000 to 1,700 megawatts each. As one would expect, environmentalists take a different view of the government’s plan. Shawn-Patrick Stensil of Greenpeace says the power produced at Pickering could be re- placed with renewables and conservation. Powering up with renewables is “definitely” pos- sible, Mr. Stensil says. “There’s the full gamut of options. The (nuclear) industry says it’s too small.” Wind and solar aren’t enough to replace nuclear, but he says environmentalists have “never said it has to be all wind and solar.” Refurbishing Pickering ‘A’ was years overdue and billions over-budget. Refurbishing Pickering ‘B’ would cost $5 billion and that’s “close to the cost of ‘A’, and it was abandoned because it was too expensive,” he says. Refurbishing Pickering ‘B’ financially “doesn’t make sense and it’s close to a large population,” he adds. “They’re not talking of the option of replacing Pickering (with renewables), which are quicker (to build).” His retort to more nuclear energy is, “Ask a stupid question, get a nuclear answer.” The energy is needed to close the expected gap between supply and demand. By 2025, the Ontario Power Authority estimates a gap of 10,000 megawatts of electricity between what can be supplied in the province and what will be used. As an example, the Pickering nuclear station can produce about 3,090 mw if all six reactors are at full power. Eric Williams, president of the Canadian Nuclear Society, which pushes nuclear power, said recently that meet- ing the demand is like “a large ship at sea. It takes a long time to get it turned around.” Refurbishing the four ‘B’ units at Pickering would extend their life to 2060, when they would be permanently shutdown. OPG filed an EA report on the refurbishing proposal to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission near the end of last year. “Clear to success is understanding the work to do before you start doing it,” Mr. McNeil states. “If we refurbish ‘B’, we won’t make the same mistakes we made on ‘A’,” he says. “We understand what some of the work is.” Doing a refurbishment includes completing a “complete, rigorous assessment of the plant condition,” he says. “Our view, there’s no significant environmental impact” refurbishing ‘B’, he says. Mr. Findlay says the government’s intention all along was to build two reactors at either Darlington or Bruce. (Pickering isn’t an option for new nuclear reactors because there isn’t enough space.) “It’s been stated all along, it will be one plant with two units,” he says. The initial number was 1,400 mw, and that would have been two 700 mw reactors. Each unit at Pickering is capable of producing about 515 mw. “The decision was made to use the newest technology. Those are larger single units,” he states. From an economic standpoint, “it’s best to build twin units.” Having spent his whole life working with Candu reactors, Mr. Williams is somewhat biased when he says the technology “works well. I’ve worked with them around the world, but we have to look after them.” The issue for AECL and Candu is being able to build new reac- tors on time and on budget. The company says it has delivered six Candu 6 reactors to customers around the world over the past 11 years, all on-time and on-budget. There’s a financial risk for vendors, given the Ontario government expects the winning bidder to cover the cost of going over-budget or over-schedule. Diane Flanagan, with Infrastructure Ontario, which is overseeing the awarding of the contract, says there are a “number of criteria” being considered by the government. “One is the best value for Ontarians. Will it create jobs and stimulate development,” Ms. Flanagan states, adding the jobs are both of scientific and local construction. A Request-for-Proposal method is being used to judge the bids. The RFP doesn’t allow the four companies to lobby the government or speak to the media about their proposal. Each also has to provide financial security. If not, they could lose the contract.

The United Way of Ajax-Pickering- Uxbridge is conducting a survey, called Community Matters, over the next five to six weeks, gathering input on the health and human services it helps provide. Edna Klazek, CEO of the United Way, says the survey will look at needs and issues the community wants ad- dressed. “It’s a project many United Ways across Ontario have done,” she says of the survey. The last similar survey done for the local United Way was in 1997. “There are so many people making telemarketing calls, people aren’t re- sponding,” she notes. Another reason for doing the survey is “in order for our own purpose and good strategic planning, we need to hear from our com- munity stake- holders,” Ms. Klazek states. “We have a number of community p a r t- ners who want us to take a lead role to engage the community.” The United Way received a two-year, $28,000-Trillium grant to help cover the costs of the survey. University of Ontario Institute of Technology students will randomly be calling homes and the survey should take about 15 minutes. “The challenge facing us is we start to see needs escalate at the same time funding gets tighter and tighter. We want to make sure our dollars are hav- ing the greatest impact they can,” Ms. Klazek says. A “partnership table” of local of- ficials, churches, ethnocultural orga- nizations and agencies funded by the United Way provided an overview and helped come up with questions, she notes. “It’s a whole spectrum of people helping,” she says, adding the group helped with a “draft community agen- da. “We want to take it to the commu- nity to make sure we’ve got it right,” she says. “We want to make sure our priorities are what the community says are its priorities.” Following that, the results will be processed and presented to focus groups for further input. “There are areas we’ll dig deep down in,” she adds. “We’ll work with our informants, governments, unions. In the fall, agencies will get to provide feedback to us.” 905-666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729 Speak with a Public Health Nurse DURHAM REGION HEALTH DEPARTMENT Monday to Friday-9amto6pm Durham Health Connection Line ONE-DAY ONLY!!! – MAJOR LIQUIDATION SALE!

The University of Ontario Institute Technology is experiencing a space crunch and its options are limited to leasing space off campus or adding por- tables on campus. “It’s actually cheaper for us to take leased space in Oshawa than to con- tinue to add portables,” said Paul McEr- lean, UOIT’s vice-president of finance, at Wednesday’s Board of Governors’ meeting. In the report presented to the board, Mr. McErlean said the cost of leasing the building on Simcoe Street would be 60 per cent of the cost of a portable solu- tion. Part of that can be attributed to the rising price of portables due to high de- mand in Alberta. As well, the building’s landlord would absorb most of the cost of retro-fitting the building whereas on campus, UOIT would have to pay for site preparation and any fitting. The school is looking at paying roughly $6 per square foot for approxi- mately 31,000 square feet for a total of about $186,000 per year. It would be a fixed lease lasting 10-to-15 years. Mr. McErlean said he expects pric- es in the downtown to increase in the coming years and in five or six years the university will be very happy with its price. According to the report, fifth- year bachelor of education program students are only on campus 50 per cent of the time, spending the rest of their time in the field. Since it’s a one- year program, students “do not engage in student life activities to the same ex- tent as our undergraduate population,” wrote Mr. McErlean. University looks to make a move to downtown Oshawa By Kailah Bharath Special to the News Advertiser PICKERING — The City has joined the Smart Commute Program in an effort to make Pickering a healthier place to live. Smart Commute Durham was launched last fall and is a part of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area-wide Smart Commute ini- tiative. The focus is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, traffic congestion, address the issue of air quality and to improve the physical health of Pickering residents. The Smart Commute Program is a partner- ship between cities and regions of the GTHA. The purpose of the program is to raise aware- ness of the commuting options available such as carpooling, walking to work, transit and cycling. “The program is a fantastic way to achieve our goals and to have a more sustainable en- vironment,” said Chantal Whitaker, the City’s co-ordinator of Environmental Awareness Programs. Pickering is the first municipality in Dur- ham Region to join Smart Commute and has already sparked the interest of other munici- palities. Ms. Whitaker predicts that it won’t be long before all of Durham takes part. Many local businesses are also getting in- volved and employers in Durham Region are encouraged to become members. The municipal staff has already taken the first step of action. A survey has been sent out to the staff to see how they are presently com- muting to work. The results are going to be analyzed to come up with better alternatives. Since Pickering serves as a major transpor- tation hub in the GTA, being the gateway to To- ronto, Durham and York regions, Mayor Dave Ryan in a press release said trip reduction pro- grams are crucial and that the community will happily support these sustainable initiatives. The Smart Commute Program has made many positive changes in other cities and regions and is expected to benefit Pickering as well.

Margaret Mead ADVERTISING FEATURE By Josie Newman jnewman@durhamregion.com DURHAM — A projected decline of 1,100 students next year at the Durham Catholic District School Board will cost it an additional $800,000, says the board’s superintendent of business. The projected enrolment, a huge increase from January’s projection of 850 fewer stu- dents next year, would have meant a shortfall of $7.1 million. A recent grant of $4.5 million from the ministry of education will instead mean the board’s operating shortfall will be $4.9 million for the current school year, Ryan Putnam said at Monday’s board meeting. “Two point five million (dollars) of that money is related to direct cost increases, but the other $2.2 million will be applied to our budget challenge,” said Mr. Putnam. He said the January projections were done by the board’s planning department, but the most recent projections are based on esti- mates from school principals. “Every year at this time, principals hear about families with several children who are moving and we also hear figures on declin- ing kindergarten enrolment. It gives prin- cipals a pretty good idea of what to expect enrolment-wise come September,” said Mr. Putnam. “We’ve seen a five-per-cent decline in enrolment in just one school year, and that’s similar to most Catholic boards across the province. We have no reserves left at this point,” said Mr. Putnam. A final budget draft will be presented at the June 23 meeting.

By Kim Downey kdowney@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Some 1,000 local General Motors car-assembly workers and several hundred more local auto workers from area feeder plants received temporary layoff no- tices stemming from a shortage of parts from American Axle and Manufacturing in the United States. A strike by 3,600 American Axle work- ers has closed five U.S. operations since late February impacting several GM plants and many more feeder plants across North America. Workers on the third shift of the Oshawa GM car plant were told not to return to work after their shift ended early Friday morning. The third shift would normally start the work week Sunday night. Durham area companies impacted by the shift cancellation have in turn issued temporary layoff notices to workers at Lear (Whitby), Johnson Controls, and syncreon (formerly TDS Logistics), said Chris Buckley, president of Local 222 of the Canadian Auto Workers Union (CAW). The shift cut at the Oshawa car plant will reduce output of Chevrolet Impalas, Buick Allures and LaCrosses by about 500 a day. The plant currently assembles about 1,550 vehicles daily. The Oshawa truck plant, which employs more than 2,000 workers on two shifts, has already been idle for seven weeks due to the U.S. strike. It is unclear whether GM could cancel the layoff at the car plant if American Axle and the United Auto Workers reach a settlement during the next few days. -- with files from Torstar News Service General Motors cancels shift at car plant due to ongoing strike in the U.S. SPONSORED BY: $4 Kids FREE The show for EXPECTING and NEW parents as well as YOUNG FAMILIES Pickering Recreation Complex 1876 Valley Farm Road, Pickering Saturday April 26, 2008 9 am - 4 pm FREE Face Painti n g by Miss Fan c y N a n c y durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 16 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, April 23, 2008 ENTERTAINMENT ✦ E-mail information to Mike Ruta, mruta@durhamregion.com ✦ Get local 24/7 newsdurhamregion.com Rock, Jazz, country on menu Bevy of talent at May 3 show Proceeds support church community work, Children’s Wish Foundation By Roland Cilliers Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — The only show in town that will take you from Bach to Rock is at Pickering Village United Church. The variety show is an evening of great music and charity fundraising. “We are going to start with classical music and then go through folk, country, jazz, and rock. It runs the whole gamut,” says Dave Ryan, the show’s director and producer. The show features performances from a diverse variety of acts. Performers include saxophonist Adisa Terry and the man who was known as The Singing Policeman on the popular 70’s kids’ show ‘Uncle Bobby and Friends’, Meredith Cutting. “The Singing Policeman, he’s still per- forming, just a great entertainer. He sings all kinds of folk songs and all types of songs that everyone likes,” says Mr. Ryan. The other performers include jazz pi- anist Tom Baker, organist Anne Mizen Baker, well-known country music duo Rob MacArthur and Lorraine Davies, sopra- no Elizabeth Dodge Collins and dancer Michiko Bown-Kai. Surprise guests will also take the stage. Profits from the show will go towards Pickering Village United Church commu- nity work and the Children’s Wish Founda- tion. Last year’s show had an audience of 250 and raised $2,400 for the R.S. McLaughlin Durham Regional Cancer Centre. Mark Dailey of CityTV, who has hosted the event for the last three years, is the master of ceremonies. This is also the third year that Mr. Ryan has put on the show. With a wide array of experience in show business, Mr. Ryan is certainly qualified for the job. “I used to produce shows downtown and do acting in London in west Ontario in the plays and shows there,” he says. “I was doing background work in movies and TV for four or five years.” From Bach to Rock- The Musical is on Saturday, May 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the church, 300 Church St. N., in Ajax.

Ajax High School (AHS) won at the dis- trict level and moved on to the Regionals of the Sears Drama Festival Competition. ‘Letters in Me’ competed in Peterbor- ough recently and, although the cast of stu- dents did not win, they received an Award of Merit. ‘Letters in Me’ is an original play written and directed by AHS teacher Nadia Affolter. The main characters in the play struggle with seven main problems: drug abuse, al- cohol abuse, suicide and self hatred, bully- ing, a broken heart and an eating disorder. Affolter said in an interview that she was inspired by her job seeing the issues herself in a high school setting. She began writing ‘Letters in Me’ in the summer and finished by September. Mostly because of the controversial themes, Affolter admits she was worried about how people would react. That is no longer a concern since Affolter and the rest of the production crew and cast have received nothing but praise and support. “The most rewarding part was that it got people to start talking,” Affolter added. The Ajax High School students were ex- tremely excited about making it to Region- als. Affolter is very proud and pleased with the cast, and mentioned that they really “stepped-up.” This year’s production has been an inspiration to the drama depart- ment and the community and school were able to show their support. The success of ‘Letters in Me’ has en- couraged Affolter to continue writing and showed her how powerful drama can be.

After a successful run during 2007 season that culminated in a berth in the Presidents Cup event and even- tually finishing second best in the nation at that level, the team braced for the loss of several of its stalwarts, including team captain Jim Veltman, his brother John, brothers Shawn and Jeff Summerfield, along with several others who’ve chosen to re- tire or move on. What’s worrisome, though, for St. John, who’s beginning his sixth sea- son with the team, is there’s been lit- tle in the way of competition for the eight spots available on this season’s squad. This year’s training camp, says St. John, has been met with a dearth of players, with an average of 12 play- ers — both new and returning — at training camp, which opened in Ajax on April 12. That’s well below the expectations of 25 to 30 players vying to be part of the 2008 squad. “People may have thought we didn’t have many spots open,” ex- plains St. John, who also holds down the general manager’s portfolio with the Rock. “We probably only have half a team returning, so we’re still trying to figure it out and we’re two weeks away from the start of the season. “I’m sur- prised because I thought we would have 20 runners. People didn’t think we would make changes, so a lot of them went to other camps.” But, St. John’s happy to say what’s been lacking in quantity has been made up somewhat in quality, with the addition of at least two star rookies to go along with 12 returning players for the 2008 season. St. John’s been most impressed by Travis Bland and Kyle Harris. Bland is a right-handed offensive player who played at the junior ‘B’ level with Halton Hills, as well as with the junior ‘A’ Mississauga squad. Har- ris, a left-handed offensive player, played with the Scarborough Saints junior ‘B’ team. “As much as the numbers are low, I’m pretty excited that we’re starting fresh with some good rookies,” says St. John. Goaltending, as much as any other position, will be the Rock’s strength again this season, predicts St. John, with incumbent goalie Mike Miron returning to the squad, along with backup Dave Power. “I believe (Miron) is going to be the cornerstone of the club again this year,” says St. John. In terms of runners, he has 10 returnees in the form of Mark Craig, Jamie Lumsden, Tyler Phillips, Bill McLean, Ian Harloff, Joel Johnston, Jordan West-Pratt, Mike Daley, Ryan McMichael and Sean Felstead. Vet- eran Jamie Plunkett came over to the Rock in a pre-season trade with the Owen Sound Woodsmen for former goaltender Steve ‘Chugger’ Dietrich. The Rock begins the Ontario La- crosse Association senior ‘B’ regu- lar-season on the road in Norwood against the Nitro on Friday, May 2. The Rock’s home opener is on Sat- urday, May 3 against the Welling- ton Aces at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7 p.m. Again this year, the league will have six teams: Owen Sound Woodsmen, Wellington, Norwood, Mohawk Stars, Brooklin Merchants and Ajax-Pickering. Mike Miron Paul St. John Pebbles Assistant coach Kevin Rob- inson won’t return to the Rock bench this season. St. John says Robinson was a ter- rific defensive coach, so he’ll be missed...In addition to the Velt- mans and the Summerfields (playing major series in Victoria), the Rock will be without Bobby Debrone (playing major series in Nanaimo), Chris Parkin and Pavel Dosly (knee surgery, won’t return) this season... AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo Ajax-Pickering Rock hopeful Kyle Nizich warms up prior to taking part in the senior ‘B’ lacrosse team’s training camp at the Pickering Village Arena re- cently. Rock head coach Paul St. John says the number of players attending tryouts is way down this season. Painter helps Cambridge earn Canadian title AJAX — When drafted by the National Ringette League’s Cam- bridge Turbos last July, Katie Painter of Ajax knew she had lucked out. “The Turbos have a great line- up with fantastic players. After being drafted by such a strong team I knew this season would be one of my best ringette expe- riences.” And now, the long-time rin- gette player has a national gold medal around her neck after the favoured Cambridge Turbos up- ended Montreal 2-1 in the NRL final of the 2008 Tim Hortons Ca- nadian Ringette Championships in St. Albert, Alta. recently. Montreal scored early and, despite being heavily outshot, held the single-goal advantage until late in the game. With less than two minutes to go, Cambridge’s Jen Wakefield finally solved the Montreal net- minder and, 23 seconds later, Christina Mascherin put the Turbos ahead for good with the game winner. “When Mash’s shot went in I just went crazy, our whole bench did,” says Painter. “Being able to say I was part of a na- tional champi- onship team is awesome. I’m here because of my coaches and teammates. I’ll be showing off my medal and gold stick to the Ajax petite team I coach, and encouraging those girls to keep working hard for their chance at nationals.” Cambridge defeated Edmon- ton in a tie-breaking mini game to advance into the medal round and then beat Calgary 6–4 to move into the gold-medal game against Montreal. The Cambridge squad had been virtually unbeatable in league play this season, posting a 28–1–1 record and headed to the nationals as a favourite. Painter scored two goals dur- ing the tournament and is al- ready looking forward to the World Club Championships in October. Six NRL teams, along with two Finnish Elite league squads and national teams from Swe- den, France and the U.S., are expected in Sault St. Marie for the international tournament. “I better stay in shape this sum- mer,” Painter mused. “I played in Finland in 2004 as a junior and the Finns are big on condition- ing. If we’re going to start next season with international com- petition I want to be ready.” Ajacian golden with Turbos at national ringette championships Katie Painter After-school drop-in tennis starts May 5 PICKERING — The Amberlea Tennis Club hosts a series of after-school drop-in tennis sessions next month.
